How to add friends on QQ ？

Compared with the Chinese version of QQ, international qq is much cleaner and it will be a little hard to find where to get started with adding QQ friends. Especially when you’re a newbie.

Honestly speaking, the design of it is too clean to use in some ways. That’s why I write this article. So let’s get started.

On the top of the screen, you will see three icons on there. And the middle one is a “Contact” icon. You need to tap that icon. Then you will see an “Add friends” icon on the bottom of the left corner of the screen. What you need to do is tap that icon and then you will go to the “adding friend” screen.

So, the next move is to enter the QQ number (Also called QQ ID), phone number, or Email and then click the [Find] button to find the friend you’re trying to add.

The next step is to simply confirm your friends’ profile before adding them via avatar, gender, or What’s Up, and then click on [Add] icon in the middle bottom of the screen. And then click on the [Next] button.

Before sending your request you need to set up your friend’s relationship with you. Setup a nickname, or choose a category and limit Qzone access. If you forgot to set up a relationship with your friend, then you can move to the next steps.

What is Qzone? Qzone is a place where you can post something and share to your friend. Once you check the box, the friend you try to add will no longer have access to your Qzone.

Usually, you need to wait until your request gets approved by your friend. And then you can chat with them freely.

How to change my friends’ name or nickname on QQ?

For some QQ friends, you might not know them in reality but only on the Internet. And as you know, you don’t need to show your real name to them, you can just show your alias. Therefore, QQ allows you to set remarks for your friends to recognize them easily.

If you’ve contacted your friend then you can click the contact directly. If not, then you can tap the “Head” icon on the top of the screen. And then you will go to the categories. Click on each category you will find the friend who you want to change their name or nickname on a list of your friends.

Besides, you can click on the search icon below to find your friend.

And then click on your friend and go to the chatting dialog where you start to chat with your friend. You will see the “Head” icon again on the top right corner. Tapping it and you will go to the [Chat Info].

What you can do here is to change your friend’s nickname, move your friend to another category or set up permissions to your friend which include ” Don’t show your status to your friend” or “Hide their status to you”. Even you can delete your friend permanently on there.

Name: You need to click on Name, and then you can enter the nickname you want to change on the popup. The nickname will be changed when you click on the [OK] button.

How to move your friend to another category on your contacts?

Actually, you can choose the category when you add a friend or approve your friend’s request. If you didn’t choose the category, they would be chosen to the My Friends category by default. But if you want to move your friend to another category then you can follow the previous step to go into the [More] options.

Click on the Category and then tap the category that you want to move to. After that, your friend will be moved.
